This class will be meaningful to students who wish to try combining wheel and slab elements or joining multiple wheel-thrown parts in their work. Among other techniques, students will experiment with stiffening portions of a pot while keeping other areas malleable and soft for continued shaping. Demonstrated forms may include jars, casseroles, serving dishes, unique dinner bowls, or other student suggestions. Intermediate or advanced students are encouraged to enroll, as the emphasis is on developing unified shapes from parts, rather than working with more clay.
